	History - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		History is thus usually distinguished from prehistory by the widespread adoption of writing in the area under study.
		From history we may learn factors that result in the rise and fall of nation-states or civilizations, the strengths and weaknesses of various political, economic, and social systems, and the effects of factors such as trade and technology.
		Military History: The study of warfare and wars in history and what is sometimes considered to be a sub-branch of military history, Naval History.

	The Outline of History - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wells in The Outline of History was stated in the subtitle: "Being a Plain History of Life and Mankind", as well as its other subtitle, The Whole Story of Man.
		Wells was very dissatisfied with the quality of history textbooks at the end of World War I, and so, between 1918 and 1919 produced a 1,324 page work which was published in serial softcover form in 1919, with the first hardcover edition appearing in 1920.
		For his part, Wells had said the Outline was the culmination of notes and historical outlines he created in the course of writing previous works, and credited the assistance of numerous historians in preparing his manuscript.

	Outline of History Part II
		The history of the more highly organized empires of the horse and iron period, the empires of roads and writing, shows Arabia thrust like a wedge between Egypt, Palestine, and the Euphrates-Tigris country, and still a reservoir of nomadic tribes who raid and trade and exact tribute for the immunity and protection of caravans.
		History is the beginning and core of all sound philosophy and all great literature, and the first Arab writers of distinction were historians, biographers, and quasi- historical poets.
		Of much greater significance in the history of mankind are the relations of Charlemagne with his neigbours to the south and east and to the imperial tradition.

	History of the Turks
		The reign of the Karahanids is considered to be a turning point in Turkish history, because Islam was accepted as the official religion during the reign of Satuk Buðra Khan, the Karahanid leader.
		The most brilliant period of Turkish history was experienced during the reign of Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad I. However, the death of the Sultan by poisoning created chaos in the country.
		Furthermore, it contributed significantly to the history of civilization with both scientific and cultural masterpieces due to its cultural, scientific, artistic and state administrative experience and acquisitions of the previous Turkish states.

		For those of you unfamiliar, this is a two volume set penned in 1920 in which Wells traces the course of history from the beginnings of civilization through his contemporary times.
		This is not to say The Outline of History doesn't have lock blocks of geneological "begats" and a plethora of dates ripe for memorization, but each chapter shows lessons learned by humanity and points out the politics and the facets of man's personality exemplified by each culture.
		Yeah, I always 'knew' that the victors write the history (or whatever that quote should be.) It is more entertaining (and sometimes scary) now to see it in effect, as opposed to just hearing about it.

	Wells, H.G. 1922. A Short History of the World
		The queen was guillotined, most of Robespierre’s antagonists were guillotined, atheists who argued that there was no Supreme Being were guillotined; day by day, week by week, this infernal new machine chopped off heads and more heads and more.
		Wells’s two-volume Outline of History, published in 1920, was the first general history constructed on an evolutionary, sociological and anthropological basis.
		It was immensely popular and set the basis for this Short History, which Wells created “to meet the needs of the busy general reader, too driven to study the maps and time charts of that Outline in detail, who wishes to refresh and repair his faded or fragmentary conceptions of the great adventure of mankind.”

		Wells, in his "Outline of History," was of necessity forced to omit the narration of many of the chief events in the history of these United States.
		And as American history can possibly best be written by Americans and as we have among us no H. Wells, I have imagined an American history as written conjointly by a group of our most characteristic literary figures.

		And like the Jews, and indeed the Muslims, they would be a people whose faith, culture and everyday life are so intimately entwined that they can't be understood without understanding their faith and its history.

		It will trace a story that is about more than music, a story that encapsulates much of the history of the search for national identity in a state that has never been fully convinced that it is a nation.
		The US experience, the anti-fascist songs of Spain and Germany, and the new awareness of the rebel tradition in Canadian history all contributed to the emergence of a culture of resistance in the context of the Popular Front.
		While the New Deal in the US intersected fortuitously with the new interest of the Left in traditional music, in Canada the 30’s were a decade of governmental indifference to the arts.
